Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
act. ingr.
Mortality:
2000 mg/kg b.w.: all animals died on the day of the administration
Gross pathology:
An abnormal finding, namely a systolic heart arrest, was present only in deceased animals (2000 mg/kg bw).
All other animals were normal at the necropsy 14 d.
Other findings:
All animals were affected after administation.
The findings, with an onset shortly after the administration and lasting until death or to a
maximum of 6 h were:
Central nervous effects: clonic convulsions. Signs of reduced well-being. This term encompasses unspecific alterations, like sedation,
apathy, piloerection, hunched posture or closed eyes, in single or multiple occurrence.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the GHS (Globally Harmonised System) the test substance "rac-1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethylamine" should be classified in the hazard category 4 (LD50 value in the range of 300 - 2000 mg per kg body weight).
